I've seen Restart to UEFI fail with my X370 board, but it no longer fails when the AM4 Advance Boot Training option is disabled. Give it a try as a test.

You must also have the CSM option set to Disabled, or you cannot use the Ultra Fast option. You must also have installed Windows 10/8.1 in UEFI booting mode, meaning CSM set to Disabled when you installed Windows, or minimally, have the CSM sub-option Launch Storage OpROM Policy set to UEFI Only when you installed Windows.

Thanks.

I think I do have boot training on. What's the downside of disabling it? What does CSM do?

Sorry, but I wasn't sure what your other questions actually were. Your reply assumed the user could actually enter the UEFI/BIOS, but in my case (and others reporting this) it wasn't possible to do so with fastboot enabled, so essentially, fastboot prevents the user from entering at all, so there's no error, etc. It simply reboots into Windows rather than UEFI.

It was my understanding that one of the features of this tool (per tech documentation from ASRock on fastboot) is to allow customers who have fastboot enabled to enter the UEFI/BIOS, but it doesn't actually do that if fastboot is enabled. I'm not the first person to experience this when fastboot is enabled, and I probably won't be the last.

Enjoy, John.

It doesn't do anything, so there's nothing to report. The app simply closes and reboots the system back into Windows.

The point of using the app, for me at least, was to disable fastboot. Since it didn't work, I ended up having to use another method to do so.

I have seen an occasional problem with Restart to UEFI with certain platforms. That is, I've seen it fail with my Ryzen PC, but that bug is no longer a problem. Restart to UEFI is working fine now.

What board/system are you using?

Yes, it is not readily available in Windows 10 or 8.1, usually offered when Windows won't boot correctly.

Otherwise, I've been using the ASRock Restart to UEFI program for years on many ASRock boards, and it always worked fine, with the recent exception of my Ryzen system, which is now cured. I believe it is the Advance(d) AM4 Boot Training option that breaks it, which I now have disabled

AsRock AB350M Pro4 Micro ATX in UEFI mode.

Ryzen 5 1600

Windows 10 x64

32GB Corsair @3933 (via XMP Profile)

No CPU overclock, etc.

I have the Rapid Boot/Fast Boot feature enabled, but the ASRock Restart to UEFI utility doesn't work for me at all.

I even tried "shutdown /r /fw /t 0" via admin command prompt and it didn't work.

i have same problem too
